Does it come with a lid?

Troubleshooting

Steamer basket doesn't fit my pot.

Ensure your pot is within the 5.6 to 9-inch diameter range. For smaller pots, ensure the basket is centered and stable before adding food.

Food is not steaming properly.

Check that there is sufficient water in the pot and that it is boiling. Ensure the pot is properly covered to trap steam.

Difficulty removing the basket from hot water.

Use the removable handle provided, or carefully use a fork or tongs to grip the edge of the basket. Allow to cool slightly before handling if necessary.

Basket appears to be rusting.

Although made of rust-resistant stainless steel, ensure the basket is thoroughly dried after washing and before storing. Any minor discoloration can often be removed with a gentle scrub.
